Whiter than White is White as Snow!

It snowed again last night. The fluffy flakes fell so gentle and pretty from the afternoon into the late night. It was "warmish" so the fluffy snow began to stick onto every tree and bush like icing covering everything. The landscape was like a beautiful Christmas card.

This morning the sun came out with a blue sky and the temperatures had dropped to one degree. The old snow which had turned crusty, chunky, and dirty was all covered with the new snowfall. 

White as snow.

White as snow.

As I drove to and from my destination the new blanket was impressive and the whiteness was incredible. I once again could only think, "white as snow". 

This new snow covered every thing, every yucky, dirty thing. All of my world was so white and clean. The whiteness struck me. What do we have that is so white? Anything we have which is white decays or becomes dirty.

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are as scarlet,
They will be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They will be like wool."

No matter how sinful we are right now, no matter how dirty our past has been, we can truly become white as snow when we have Jesus as our Savior! When we accept Him as our sacrifice His precious blood covers over all our dirtiness, all of our sins! 

Psalm 51:7
Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

How can we ever be white as snow? How can we ever rid ourselves of our pasts?

Jesus Christ of the Bible is how! We must stop being a slave to our sins and our past! Cry out to Him, seek first His kingdom:

Matthew 6:25-34 
“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, 
as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, 
as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the 
body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap 
nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. 
Are you not worth much more than they?

And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies 
of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to 
you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one 
of these.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today 
and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more 
clothe you? You of little faith!

Do not worry then, saying, 

‘What will we eat?’ or 

‘What will we drink?’ or 

‘What will we wear for clothing?’

For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly 
Father knows that you need all these things.

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things 
will be added to you.

So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Find your white as snow safety in the Lord Jesus!
